fandandy 3,311 Posted May 21, 2019 I had recently switched to Dunkin Donuts coffee at home. Tried multiple brands and they were my favorite. It's good to know they haven't lost their mind yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope.....For regular coffee...Around here (MI) Its Tim Hortons, then Dunkin.....I don't like Starbucks coffee...it's too bitter and since I drink it black, I'm not able to cut it with anything.

I prefer a strong and bitter cup, so bucks works for me, I enjoy the taste of their coffee just a bit more than Dunkin, but I would not avoid Dunkin by any stretch. it is my next goto. I typically buy the breakfast blend starbucks for home, followed by original dunkin, and then 8 o'clock.....consumer reports rated 8 o'clock as the best value to taste coffee....

However that kind of coffee makes a great latte..which Starbucks does well. I went to Vancouver recently, there is a Tim Hortons on every corner it seems. Hasn't made it to the Phoenix area as near as I can tell. I didn't have their coffee so I can't comment. Starbucks is more prevalent than Dunkin here, although a google map search shows a surprising number of Dunkins within 20 miles that I was not aware of. I generally go for timewasters/meetings vs. actual coffee preference, and Starbucks works fine for that. It's a familiarity thing for me, kinda like I Uber but don't Lyft because Uber has worked so why learn a new app? Not a fan of Pike's tho, and that is the Starbucks signature coffee. I do like their lighter blends but they don't often have it brewed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted May 21, 2019 Just saw a video where a Taco Bell drive through employee goes on an anti Muslim rant. Just give me my crappy food and shut up please. I’m getting a new Chik fil A a block from my place soon and don’t care if they once opened on a Sunday or hate or love gays or whatever. I just want some chicken sandwiches.

The Chick-Fil-A staff looks like the local High Schools Honor Society. Never gets an order wrong. Always smiles, says Sir to me and very polite.

Anyway, I hadn't eaten all day, it was like 2:15 so I stopped the Chic Fil A in Kissimmee, FL. I order my whatever number meal and the obviously gay kid that worked there, maybe 17 or 18, says to me "what would you like to drink: I said "diet coke" he replies to me " was that a diet cack" I went and he went He says ":OMG I am SO SORRY" I was like, hah, don't worry about it, no big deal" I should have sued but he did give good head.

The one near me also has some elderly ladies working there, usually running out orders and stopping by asking if we'd like a refill, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
